Could Federer be considered the most complete player of all time and therefore the best? Complete because his all court game is adaptable to any court - more so than that of Sampras, whose game was perfectly suited to hard and grass courts. If memory serves me well, even his indoor record was not as good as the the likes of Becker, and perhaps even McEnroe. Sampras might have had the best combination of 1st and 2nd serves this game has ever seen. Burton,
